Wood Chop with Resistance Band

Stand to the right of a resistance band (secured a few feet above your head). With your feet hip-width apart, rotate your torso slightly to the left and grab the handles with both hands so that your arms are straight and above your left shoulder. Keeping your arms straight and back flat, pull the handles across your body to the outside of your right knee. Pause, then slowly return to start. That's one rep. Do 12 to 15 total, then switch sides and repeat.
